Abstract
AIM: To evaluate the role of internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling in preventing secondary epiretinal membrane (ERM) formation in pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) for proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR). METHODS: This retrospective study analyzed the medical records of patients who underwent PPV for PDR and were followed up for minimum 3mo. ILM peeling was performed based on the intraoperative surgeons' judgments. ERM was assessed by optical coherence tomography photography. The relationship between ILM peeling and postoperative ERM was analyzed. RESULTS: In total, 212 eyes from 197 patients were included in this study. The incidence of secondary ERM in the ILM non-peeling group was significantly higher than that in the ILM peeling group (37.0% vs 14.0%; P<0.001). Multivariate logistical regression revealed that ILM peeling was highly associated with the prevention of secondary ERM development [odds ratio 0.38; 95% confidence interval 0.17-0.86; P<0.05]. CONCLUSION: ILM peeling during PPV for PDRs can effectively reduce the incidence of secondary ERM development and is worth consideration by vitreoretinal surgeons.
